The pressures will eventually equalize in a non functioning unit assuming the box temp and ambient around the condenser are equal. On a functioning unit, during the off cycle, your refrigerant temperature will be equal or close, to that of the box temp. As the box gains heat so does the refrigerant. You valve will not throttle because the compressor is not running. The valve will be open until the thermostat or pressure control closes and energizes the pump
